A new synthetic method for the preparation of potassium
organotrifluoroborates through nucleophilic substitution of potassium bromo-
and iodomethyltrifluoroborates is described. Potassium
halomethyltrifluoroborates have been prepared via in situ reaction of n-BuLi
with dibromo- and diiodomethane, respectively, in the presence of trialkyl
borates, followed by treatment with KHF2.
